“Working with Catalina as my executive coach has been an absolute game-changer. Her kindness, intuition, and sharp ability to spot opportunities and challenges made the whole process enjoyable and eye-opening. Catalina has a way of helping you face situations head-on, even the ones you’d usually avoid, and turning them into moments of growth. I’ve come away with fresh perspectives and a real sense of clarity. Truly an incredible experience!”

How can group coaching help you develop your leadership skills in adult education?
Group coaching is the best of both worlds: You get the 1-1 attention of an experienced executive coach plus the insight, feedback, and perspectives from a cohort of peers with a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. You get many of the benefits of 1-1 coaching with the added bonus of community. I run group coaching in my practice and would be happy to chat about opportunities to participate.

You’re looking to advance your career. What leadership development platforms should you invest in?
Unequivocally the best investment you can make in your career is to hire an executive coach for 1-1 coaching and development. Platforms can support your growth but they cannot replace the tailored approach that a coach will take to help you advance in your career.

How can you manage the power dynamics in the coach-coachee relationship?
Contracting clearly in the chemistry call and early in the engagement should address any risk of power dynamics that may be showing up for either coach or client. The coach is responsible for managing their own ethical approach to the engagement such that a power dynamic should never be present. Coaching is a partnership where the coach should lead from behind and the client should experience full trust and psychological safety with their coach.
